Business.com - Worth It?

[searchenginemarketing4u]

Is a regular listing in Business.com worth it today?

Do they accept sites from the UK?

[MakeMeTop]

Yes to both questions.

I like Business.com because you can get 4 links to your site, it drives a little (but very qualified) traffic and invariably shows up in your backlinks on Google.

Thank's Barry.

I like business.com as well. The PR from the backlinks can be good, depending on the category. Also, if the traffic itself is qualified then that is good too.

Do the additional 4 also show up as backlinks or are these restricted to the search on Business.com?

I tried a listing at Business.com for a year and didn't find it worth the money. Couldn't see any relevant traffic driven from that site via my logs :(. It did seem to boost my link pop for a short period but that's about it.

The rise in link pop didn't justify the link to you Kal?

Was it a commercial or non-commercial site?

Hey Guys :)

I am buying a listing. I have a target market of roughly 8 million people plus :eek:

As most of you know I am an Internet Sales Director for two Auto Malls these days with an Internet marketing budget of $6000 x 2 dealerships per month so I reckon a listing would be well worth it.

Kal? Troops?

Any other paid listings I should think about?? Thanks :)

[ihelpyou]

Oh yes.

Yahoo Directory Listing
GoGuides
JoeAnt
Gimpsy

Pay to get in those directories as well. :)

[British Chap]

Done

Apparently business.com is removing listings that are not strictly B2B. Those that are 'dropped' will continue to show only in searches made and not if a user surfs through the categories in that directory.

Hmmm then it probably wouldn't benefit us as a real estate site then too much. We do also sell commercial property, but most of our business is residential.

Gah!
